How could one go somewhere like this and act how she did? This place is spiritual, almost sacred. Yet she acts like it's just another trip to the mall. Sickening.
Why does all of those people who go there have to do a video of how they keep talking about things they don't know. Really, I can't understand what you wanted to see there. You didn't read the book, you have no idea of what happened but you need to do a video? That sucks big time.
great video, taking the hike and seeing the bus must have been very interesting, regardless of how much you knew about chris mccandless. I definitely recommend reading the book, espically for anybody who is interested in adventure or wanting to try new things in life. And I hope you don't take any negative comments personally, andbody who comments this video in a negative way is simply mad that you are out enjoying your life and they are sitting home on youtube :)
The most charitable view among McCandless's detractors is that his behavior showed a profound lack of common sense. He chose not to bring a compass (which most people in the same situation would have considered essential). McCandless was completely unaware that a hand-operated tram crossed the otherwise impassable river ¼ mile from where he attempted to cross. Had McCandless known this, he could easily have saved his own life. Additionally, there were cabins stocked with emergency supplies.
@whatshisface130 No I haven't read the book, yet. I went on the hike with some friends who had and wanted to go. I want to read it though, just haven't had the time yet unfortunately.
@s402310 lol... that explanation was so sad. why did you hike 12h to get there if the only connection you had with CM was a movie and, maybe, a CD by someone 'indie'...
I have just gotten to the middle of the book. Poor kid....
Compare Dorothy Molter, up in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. What did she have that he didn't? She survived and thrived for years and people looked out for her too.
The trainers wouldn't have belonged to Christopher Mccandless, the last he was seen he was wearing a pair of rubber work boots given to him by Jim Gallien, the guy who gave him a lift to the trail and also gave him his packed lunch! Scary stuff but it makes you want to make your life worth living.
@kickodude In the 1960s the state was going to upgrade the trail so that it could be used by trucks to haul ore from a nearby mine. Three buses were put in the area to house construction workers. The project was stopped because thawing permafrost and seasonal flooding made the route impassable, and they hauled two of the buses back out, but left one behind for hunters to use during the hunting season.
haters gonna hate... i am amazed by this story and the tribute that this bus is to his adventure... im sure he is smiling down from heaven while he takes breaks from hiking admiring the positive influence he has had on people... RIP my friend... i will see you when i get there. much love!!!
For the jerks calling her fat: Lets see you hike 12+ hrs thru rugged wilderness, rivers and streams to make it to the bus. She is in good shape to make that journey.
I will be quite emotional when I get to the bus, specially when I venture inside. Years ive planned to hike there and finally it will happen soon and im so very excited. I will walk into the wild!
'Get busy living or get busy dying' is from Shawshank Redemption, no? Which was in 1994. Don't think that inscription was written by Chris McCandless.
Okay, first of all - you're not fat. Second of all - awesome video! I've watched a couple vids now on youtube of people who have ventured out to see the bus that Chris McCandless lived in during his own adventure. It must be a pretty awesome feeling knowing that you're experiencing, touching, and even interacting with HISTORY! Congrats and good for you that you made it all the way up there! I'm sure it was a really enjoyable experience. :)
I think chris would have been happy people are experinceing the wild due to him liveing the way he did just for a while even! Enjoying the world for it's natural beauty and not for people in the world!
nice little clip and thank you for sharing..its good to see that people are respectful of the bus and replace what they use..the writings on the bus are small tributes left by those who were there..Well done camera girl and thank you for making the long trek.
so amazing! but I kind of feel that people are disrespectful to the bus; writing on walls and stuff /: I'm sure they're all nice things though. R.I.P. chris -3
Thank you so much for the footage... I'm going to Australia for 2 years in August but when I get back my plan is to get to this bus! Any information you have about how to reach it (as safely as possible haha) would be greatly appreciated!
PS don't listen to these assholes, I think you're pretty hot IMO =] x
@s402310 it's not the clothes its the disrespect and the double chin. I'm pissed because you walk in there and rifle thru all his things like it's a museum or something. you were disrespectufull.,..and you are fat. thats why you get the hate, or the truth. I GUARANTEE you didn't hike to that location on your own without help. DOUBLE CHIN gives it away. And YOUR GREEDY DISRESPECT makes me not give a shit what anyone replies.
@playdrums Hey idiot, the journals in the suitcase is for those who visit the bus & wish to leave their thoughts. MANY people have left writings on the walls which hurt nothing & frankly I think CM would have appreciated it. This girl was merely showing us what was in the suitcase, what was in the stove etc. So what. She disturbed nothing & left the bus as she found it. Even the family agrees the bus is to be USED by people. It's what it was put there long before CM died there. Get informed.
@blazeablunt4200 no shit and they should be thankful that someone was gracious enough to post a video so that the rest of us who can't make it up can actually see the real thing.
thanks for posting this...someday i will make the trip out there. 12 hours...wow...i commend you!
the comment you made about chris writing "get busy living or get busy dying" is not accurate...it's a quote from the movie "shawshank redemption," which was released in 1994. as you know, chris died in 1992...so someone else wrote it.
@Victorsrp how could you be so rude?? If you have nothing better to do than shoot people self esteem than I feel sorry for you. And to the person who put this up, thank you. I think you leaving your symbol is perfectly fine, in fact encouraged. I hope to someday make the trip. Thanks for giving a tour to all who were fascinated by chris's story:)
great video...congrats on completing the hike! I am truly jealous. The bus has such a beautiful energy to it. Fuck all the haters posting negative comments...get a life...if you dont like it move on to something else you twat waffles
Unfortunately Anything in there is not Chris's. Maybe the bible his parents left are the only thing that has any connection to him. The bed I suppose. But everything else all those clothes, shoes, broom, even suitcase. None of that was his. People long before either took it out. Or the family did. So the broom that she says is "his" . No. Sorry. Cool vid though congrats on the trip.
my question is how the FUCK did the bus got there from the very first place?Gratz for you that u had the luck and courage to go there(I am from Greece its a little bit far but well....Chris would do it and he'd wanted me to do that as well so i might as well visit!)
Stupid video. I hate the idea the bus being a target for pilgrims. Hey, why don't we all go there and take photos of us standing next to the bus and write something "clever" to the wall. We could start charter helicopter-flights there and all really feel how he lived there. Major tourist-attraction.
Don't take me wrong but why don't we just leave the bus alone and respect Chris at that way? I respect him for living at his ideals and loved the book and movie. He lived his life at fullest.
@s402310 You go Girl dont let them give you shit! And to all you dummies who are squawking about desecration that suitcase was put there by Chris's parents for people to look thru, All his personal effects were taken when they investigated his death anything there now was put there at the parents direction. The bus is what it is, A shelter in the outback if it annoys you that people still use it build another one next to it! and quit yer Bitchin
@s402310 Don't you worry about these fools & their hateful comments & thank you for uploading this. I saw some things in your video I hadn't seen in some of the other 'Magic Bus' videos. Some of these cretins giving you such a hard time are probably many of the folks that Chris McCandless sought to escape from in 'society':) Don't blame him a bit. Thanks again:)
nice to see the bus in that good of condition,,seen another video where it had been trashed,,some people have no respect..the bus is based on the honor system..its a shelter and food for those who need it..read the bible .or just get drunk and trash the place, like the cool people that knock over head stones at the graveyards, God forbid some one cut there wrist breaking the glass after destroying everything,.....GodBless the SuperTramp...The Majic Bus is his headstone.......
People who refer to Chris as an "idiot" are just ignorant. I'll be willing to bet anything you couldn't even get INTO Emory college, let alone graduate with a GPA close to perfect. AND I bet you wouldn't last half as long as Chris did in the wild. People who think he was ill prepared because he didn't bring a map or a compass or whatever...are you kidding? Have you read the book? That was the whole point!
bottle of Dom Perignon champagne,the antithesis of the Mcandless mindset.who cares really,he was an idiot who did not prepare and died as many do each year in AK!
people dont make sense to me, this bus is like a memorial for good man with good spirit and they write all over it, i find it extremley disturbing that people are that disrespectful
@danguhz0n3 Not true. I was there in on July 2nd & 3rd 2010. I dont know for how much longer though. Sadly there are people that insist that the bus be moved so that people dont get hurt trying to get to it. I think it's sad that anyone would ever consider it. Approximately 100 people EVERY YEAR die trying to hike the Smokey Mountains. Should we cut them down too? Life is what you make it. Choose for yourself and savor the moments. Safety police need not apply.
@XanderHarris88 It seems that the bus is there to be used by hunters, even after his death. Thats the shame. For me it is a sacred place too, but I am sure the girl in this tape entered it with respect and soul...nothing bad in that. I think. I thank her to share it with the world. God bless us all ;)
@s402310 Thanks to you! It is a moving tape...I hope one day I will go too!! And I think we all have a little of Alex in us, thats why we can understand his journey and feel so touched by it ;-)
@Beatleboy62 For me that bus should be taken and kept it as the place where Alex lived and died...Alaska should have another place for the hunters...build a cabin or something and leave the bus intact..so all the people in the world that felt connected with Alex life could go there and have a moment of silence for his soul...I am sure the girl in the tape did that...that what she is giving us through this video...I thank her because I am far away to go myself.. And I feel Alex´s life very much
You're right, I never thought that they could build a cabin near there. If they could haul a bus, they sure as hell could build a cabin. (Or just haul another bus there XD)
@nymphima No disrespect to your feelings but I disagree with your statement. People should use the bus just like Chris did. It wasn't his bus. There are many place in the wilderness where people die, many cabins, huts, sights...It shouldn't make a difference just 'cause he "became" famous.
@Ljwaggy Yes, well...we all can disagree. I just think it would be nice to keep that bus as Alex left it..maybe now is too late for that. People has been using it as if no one passed away in that bus. And yes, Christopher/Alex was a great guy, had a passionate life worth to know..symbol of the grunge era..no surprise eddie vedder made the soundtrack for the movie..would be nice to keep it as it is.It is just my modest opinion ;-)
im going to make it my mission to hike all the way up there when i win the lottery so i can pimp it all out with wifi and hook up an hdtv with an xbox and like 300 games an d some satellite cable and leave it on FOX news while I slap on NRA, and Sarah Palin stickers all over the walls! and then I'm gonna scratch off Chris's quotes and put "I can see Russia from my backyard!"
I doubt chris wrote in sharpie still legible after 18 years. XD Nice video though, I can't believe the bus is still there. It's strange how this stories touches so many. It's unexplainable.
Thanks. You all are awesome. It was an amazing experience and i totally recommend going if you get the chance.... or maybe even making a chance. *smiles*
You are a fat whiny grafitti mongrel. you actually videoed your crimes of tagging your stupid "symbol" on a bus. and you breath heavy because you packed out ding dongs on your hike.
Really interesting. When was this? I saw another video where a guy found the place completely trashed. Was this after that? If so I am happy to the place was shown respect....as you do in this video.
@s402310 Honestly, I doubt Chris would ever care if someone wrote on the wall of the magic bus. I think he would be honored that so many found it comforting! Free spirits such as himself couldn't care less nor would he waste his time with negative anything! We should all be so busy living!!!
hey, just watched the video.. i say, good for you for getting out there and doing it. don't care what people think or say. sitting in front of a computer typing up negative comments to people pretty much sums up their existence.. hope you had fun, i know i would have.
Chris denounced society and lived in the wilderness in order to escape from many of the very same people who are now making pilgrimages to his bus. I read the book over a a decade ago and for ten yrs couldn't find anyone who was interested in the story or his life. Penn creates a bogus and romanticized film version, complete with a 'kewl' Hollywood soundtrack and a pretty death, and suddenly all the sheeple are now hard core 'fans'. Predictable. His death was HORRIFIC and he wanted to live
Hey. ya sorry about the turning of the camera. It was my first time using the video function ... and well, i was slight exhausted.
You can't drive to the bus... but you can take an ATV if the river levels are not to high. i would prefer hicking however. The bus was put out on the trail for moose hunters when there use to be a mining trail....
And I agree, the Czech flag is awesome. But i am not sure what was written on the flag, i didn't look. sorry.
i can't believe his stuff is still in there....

Stupid video. I hate the idea the bus being a target for pilgrims. Hey, why don't we all go there and take photos of us standing next to the bus and write something "clever" to the wall. We could start charter helicopter-flights there and all really feel how he lived there. Major tourist-attraction.
Don't take me wrong but why don't we just leave the bus alone and respect Chris at that way? I respect him for living at his ideals and loved the book and movie. He lived his life at fullest.

@s402310 You go Girl dont let them give you shit! And to all you dummies who are squawking about desecration that suitcase was put there by Chris's parents for people to look thru, All his personal effects were taken when they investigated his death anything there now was put there at the parents direction. The bus is what it is, A shelter in the outback if it annoys you that people still use it build another one next to it! and quit yer Bitchin

@s402310 Don't you worry about these fools & their hateful comments & thank you for uploading this. I saw some things in your video I hadn't seen in some of the other 'Magic Bus' videos. Some of these cretins giving you such a hard time are probably many of the folks that Chris McCandless sought to escape from in 'society':) Don't blame him a bit. Thanks again:)

nice to see the bus in that good of condition,,seen another video where it had been trashed,,some people have no respect..the bus is based on the honor system..its a shelter and food for those who need it..read the bible .or just get drunk and trash the place, like the cool people that knock over head stones at the graveyards, God forbid some one cut there wrist breaking the glass after destroying everything,.....GodBless the SuperTramp...The Majic Bus is his headstone.......

People who refer to Chris as an "idiot" are just ignorant. I'll be willing to bet anything you couldn't even get INTO Emory college, let alone graduate with a GPA close to perfect. AND I bet you wouldn't last half as long as Chris did in the wild. People who think he was ill prepared because he didn't bring a map or a compass or whatever...are you kidding? Have you read the book? That was the whole point!

s402310 1 year ago
@danguhz0n3 Not true. I was there in on July 2nd & 3rd 2010. I dont know for how much longer though. Sadly there are people that insist that the bus be moved so that people dont get hurt trying to get to it. I think it's sad that anyone would ever consider it. Approximately 100 people EVERY YEAR die trying to hike the Smokey Mountains. Should we cut them down too? Life is what you make it. Choose for yourself and savor the moments. Safety police need not apply.

Grave desecration. He died in that bus. Go and visit it, respect him, but entering the bus, going through his stuff - embarrassing.
XanderHarris88 1 year ago 8
@XanderHarris88 It seems that the bus is there to be used by hunters, even after his death. Thats the shame. For me it is a sacred place too, but I am sure the girl in this tape entered it with respect and soul...nothing bad in that. I think. I thank her to share it with the world. God bless us all ;)

@nymphima I understand where you're coming from, but think of this:
You just finished hunting.
You're tired and cold.
The wind is whipping at 35 miles an hour, hard to start a fire.
You see that bus, with it's stove, thick glass, ect.
I'm gonna guess the hunters went for survival over respect.
But, that's just my personal opinion, I in no ways mean to say that I think your answer is stupid, just that I disagree with it.
Beatleboy62 1 year ago
@Beatleboy62 For me that bus should be taken and kept it as the place where Alex lived and died...Alaska should have another place for the hunters...build a cabin or something and leave the bus intact..so all the people in the world that felt connected with Alex life could go there and have a moment of silence for his soul...I am sure the girl in the tape did that...that what she is giving us through this video...I thank her because I am far away to go myself.. And I feel Alex´s life very much
nymphima 1 year ago
@nymphima 0-0
Epic idea!
You're right, I never thought that they could build a cabin near there. If they could haul a bus, they sure as hell could build a cabin. (Or just haul another bus there XD)
Beatleboy62 1 year ago
@Beatleboy62 yes, I think it would be a good thing to do ;-)
nymphima 1 year ago
@nymphima No disrespect to your feelings but I disagree with your statement. People should use the bus just like Chris did. It wasn't his bus. There are many place in the wilderness where people die, many cabins, huts, sights...It shouldn't make a difference just 'cause he "became" famous.
Ljwaggy 1 year ago 18
@Ljwaggy Yes, well...we all can disagree. I just think it would be nice to keep that bus as Alex left it..maybe now is too late for that. People has been using it as if no one passed away in that bus. And yes, Christopher/Alex was a great guy, had a passionate life worth to know..symbol of the grunge era..no surprise eddie vedder made the soundtrack for the movie..would be nice to keep it as it is.It is just my modest opinion ;-)

@s402310 Honestly, I doubt Chris would ever care if someone wrote on the wall of the magic bus. I think he would be honored that so many found it comforting! Free spirits such as himself couldn't care less nor would he waste his time with negative anything! We should all be so busy living!!!

Chris denounced society and lived in the wilderness in order to escape from many of the very same people who are now making pilgrimages to his bus. I read the book over a a decade ago and for ten yrs couldn't find anyone who was interested in the story or his life. Penn creates a bogus and romanticized film version, complete with a 'kewl' Hollywood soundtrack and a pretty death, and suddenly all the sheeple are now hard core 'fans'. Predictable. His death was HORRIFIC and he wanted to live

Hey. ya sorry about the turning of the camera. It was my first time using the video function ... and well, i was slight exhausted.
You can't drive to the bus... but you can take an ATV if the river levels are not to high. i would prefer hicking however. The bus was put out on the trail for moose hunters when there use to be a mining trail....
And I agree, the Czech flag is awesome. But i am not sure what was written on the flag, i didn't look. sorry.
